The largest badger ever found was caught by a fisherman in Mexico in 1898. El Tejon de Durango was said to be of the size and strength of a small pony.

A statue of El Tejon de Durango erected outside the post office was, ironically, washed away in flooding exactly 45 years later. ---

Trump’s toupee is held in place with a combination of two-part epoxy, hide glue, Titebond III, Liquid Nail, Gorilla Glue, 35 Swingline staples, and a generous number of shots from a nail gun.

Venezuelan beaver cheese is featured in the finest cheese shops in Great Britain, the United States, Tibet, Monaco, Grand Fenwick and Botswana, but curiously, due to a complicated tariff provision and despite fervent lobbying by the _Associacion de Beaver Leche y Queso Wranglerios Venezuelianos_, not in Venezuela itself. ---
